If I want to change the standard Steering Wheel for a Momo or simular, is a "Boss Kit" all I need to invest in or will there be other cables etc.?
 
Tbh with a road car on the road there is no reason to change for a Momo or Sparco wheel or whatever. You've got an airbag in your current wheel and if you have a crash you'll be happy you have it in front of you. Plus your insurance company may take a dim view of you modifying the safety system of the car. The best option would be to have your current wheel retrimmed.
 
And dont forget that insurance companies are looking for ways of not paying out .And they will also put people on their (data base) of people who not to insure because of unauthorised mods.Things are not so "black and white with insurance anymore"

Only if it's not declared. And who would be silly enough not to declare something like that?
 
Most of the young drivers i know who put different alloys on and modify the car thinking they are clever? just look around and see how many young drivers put large wheels on their cars (the first thing that insurance companies ask "is the car modified in any way")thats their way out of paying when things go wrong.

And how many do you know haven't declared those modifications? If they've delclaired the mods then they're ok, like myself and alot of others :)
